Re Child sacrifice:
Interesting parallels with Isaac, first fruits sacrifice, children bred for a role.
What if the first Mayans were descended from Noah? Perverting the Jewish customs?
What if Mel Gibson was trying to help us make that connection with his movie?
Just pondering...
Of course, the article was woke.
Not seeing this, many cultures in mideast practiced child sacrifices. Abraham's actions were based on faith that God cold even resurrect Isaac (the son of the Promise).
Heb 11:17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[a] 19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
What if the first Mayans were descended from Noah?
Who else would they be descended from?
Perverting the Jewish customs?
Noah wasn't a 'Jew', nor Abraham.
